Muzzin (concussion) has been cleared for contact and is "really close" to returning, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Muzzin will likely need to log a few full practices before rejoining the lineup, but he should be back in action sooner rather than later. The 33-year-old defender has been sidelined for over five weeks with a concussion, so his minutes might be managed initially once he's given the green light to play.
